Rode Street House

Rode Street House is a farmhouse dating from the early to mid-18th century. It is built of red Flemish bond brick with stone dressings and has a slate roof. The building has two storeys and an attic, with an entrance front that features four bays. Fluted pilasters flank the two central bays, which have capitals and bases on plinths, topped with a piece of Doric entablature and a pediment above. There is a band of three bricks in depth between the ground and first floor at the lateral bays, and a band of two bricks above the first floor. The central front door has four raised and fielded panels on the lower part and two glazed panels on the top, with an arched hood supported by moulded brackets. On either side of the door at ground floor level are sash windows with three rows and four panes, each with cambered headed brick lintels. There are two similar windows on the lateral sides and four first floor windows, one of which on the far left is a dummy. A two-light attic casement window is located in the central pediment. The left-hand bay has a shallower pitched roof compared to the right-hand three bays. The right gable end features two cambered headed casement windows on each floor, along with one in the attic. Stone kneelers and coping stones adorn the gable.
